Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim Chapter 127
Wren's POVThe broker sat across from me with his hands folded, refusing to meet my eyes. I had barely slept after his warning yesterday. Now I wanted a name, not another excuse. Nora was still in the hospital, and someone who knew about her illness had been asking questions about me.“Who sent you?” I demanded. “You said someone knew my daughter's name. Who was it?” My fingers tightened around the arm of my chair. I could hear how rough my voice sounded, but I didn't care.“I never saw the person, Miss Sinclair,” he answered. “A middleman approached me. He wouldn't give a name. I thought you deserved to know before we went any further.” He glanced toward Adrian as though hoping someone would believe him.Adrian leaned forward. “Then we need to assume someone is watching Ivy's search. No more sharing details about Nora with strangers. Every donor goes through the hospital first.” His calm voice only made the danger feel more real.I wanted to question the broker again, but the office

Wren's POVThe doctor looked at me as though he was waiting for me to understand what he had just said. Nora needed a donor urgently. We had already tested every Alpha we could reach, and none of them could help her. Yet he was standing there telling me to widen the search, as though I had not spent every waking hour trying to do exactly that."Then tell me where else to look," I demanded, gripping the edge of Nora's bed. "There must be families who have faced this before. Rich families. Powerful Alphas. How did they find help when the hospitals couldn't?"Dr. Marsh glanced toward Nora. Her eyes were closed, and the machine beside her continued its steady sound. "There are private donor networks," he admitted. "Some families use them to reach candidates beyond the usual registries. But an offer of blood is not proof of compatibility. Anyone you find must consent to screening here. Please don't let someone take advantage of your fear.""My fear is all I have left," I whispered. I looke

Wren's POVThe nurse pushed past me with a tray of equipment while another reached for the monitor above Nora's bed. I was still holding my daughter's hand. I kept saying her name, waiting for her fingers to close around mine, but they lay motionless against the blanket. Someone asked me to move. I heard the words without understanding why anyone would want me farther away from her.“Please, she's frightened when she wakes up alone,” I told the nurse, gripping the bed rail. “Let me stay where she can see me. I won't get in your way.”The doctor came in behind them and checked Nora's breathing. His expression changed as he listened to the nurse's report. I watched his hands move with frightening speed. He called for another medication, and the sound of the monitor grew sharper. I had promised Nora that she would play outside again. I had promised her a pink-eared bunny. How could those promises mean anything if I could not make her open her eyes?“Ms. Sinclair, we need room to work,” D

Wren's POVI had read the same sentence on my computer screen four times without understanding a word. Across my desk, Maya was explaining why another client had suspended negotiations with Thornbridge.“Two more partners want to reconsider their agreements,” Maya said, placing a folder before me. Her voice softened when I failed to reach for it. “Ivy, our remaining reserves won't carry us much longer if this continues. We can cover salaries, but we need new business soon.”I opened the folder because she deserved an answer. The figures were worse than yesterday.“Keep the employees paid,” I told her. “And don't cancel the smaller suppliers.” I pushed the folder back, afraid my shaking fingers would betray me. “I'll speak to the clients myself when I can.”Adrian sat opposite me with a list of possible lenders. He slid one page toward me, careful not to crowd my desk with more problems.“This group can release funds quickly,” he explained. “But they'd want a say in major decisions unt

Seraphina's POVI kept my expression still, although my fingers had tightened around the edge of the wedding catalogue. He was watching me with an unfamiliar patience, waiting for an answer I could not give him. I had not expected him to remember the coffee."I bring you coffee all the time," I said, closing the catalogue with deliberate care. "Since when has that become suspicious? You have never questioned whether I meant you harm before."Dante remained beside the sitting room window. He had not raised his voice once, and that bothered me more than shouting would have. "I trusted you, Seraphina. I still need to establish what happened that night. Trust isn't a reason to leave part of the timeline unexamined."I stood, refusing to let him look down at me while he spoke. "And who persuaded you to start examining me? Ivy, I suppose. She cries in front of you, brings up her daughter, and suddenly your own fiancée is under suspicion. Can't you see what she's doing?""This isn't about wh

Dante's POVI left the hospital with Ivy's face still fixed in my mind. She had tried to stand straight while Adrian delivered the news, but I had seen her fingers tighten around the edge of her coat. Every Alpha they had tested had been ruled out. I had offered to be tested, and she had looked at me as though accepting that offer might cost her something she could not afford to lose.So did Seraphina's voice from earlier, accusing Ivy of using her sick daughter to keep me close. I had heard jealousy from my fiancée before. But Nora was a child lying in a hospital bed. What kind of threat could she possibly be?Something about Seraphina's certainty had been bothering me since the morning I woke with Ivy beside me. I remembered the coffee Seraphina brought into my study before Ivy's scheduled visit. I remembered drinking it while reviewing documents, and then the strange gaps that swallowed the rest of the evening. The next morning, Seraphina had arrived with a dressmaker and found us
